The holidays are almost over. Did you enjoy them? Did they fulfill every thing? Many of us have idealized images of the holidays. We have the picture postcard one. You know the one with happy smiling faces of family surrounding the perfectly cooked turkey. There is the tree, perfectly lit in the background, with presents, well wrapped beneath it. Are own families may not fit this image. The turkey is dry,the kids bicker, and you know who is drinking a bit more wine then they should.

When we look back at our lives we can be tempted to color in the shades we want and not look at the ones we have. Writing our life stories ask they we look at our past with a clear eye. It doesn’t have to be pretty, it should be authentic.

Have you decided to write your life story? Start now. Face it squarely and peer into the darkness.
